 More about the people than the money. August 6, 2008

I found this very watchable, although if you're expecting action and wild parties, get something else. It was very real, and interesting to see that people remain true to their characters despite winning millions of dollars. One group of shared winners all worked in a school cafeteria and nearly all kept their jobs. Another compulsive gambler squandered his millions. I found by the end that it was an understated commentary on what's important in life, because the money couldn't really help unless the important things were already present.
 Don't waste your money! July 12, 2008

I wish I hadn't purchased it. It was awful! totally boring. It showed the lives of 3 previous winners and how they live now (20 years later). It actually had nothing to do with what they did with the money or any of the stuff you THINK this DVD should be about. The stories were slow moving with turtle like music (yeah) to go with it. When you buy these type of documentaries, you expect to hear "What happened to my life after winning, what I did, bought, how my family reacts, this is my home. But I don't know what the producer of this garbage was thinking, I really don't. This views like a documentary from the lives of older people in their retirement. Their stories could have been told by anyone! yuk. Its now at my local video rental store, I wish I would have waited!
 Great documentary June 6, 2008

I really like this movie. It's a great look at a bunch of winners, and makes you ask yourself what you'd do if you won all that money. I thought it was really funny how such a big win can affect people, and also loved seeing how different people are in different parts of the country. I thought all of the people were fascinating, but I especially liked Phyllis. If anyone deserves all that cash it's someone like her. What a great lady. I love her laugh. People were applauding in the theater when she finally got her new fridge. Highly reccomended to anyone who likes interesting real people and true stories.
